I do not have degree from a program in Economics. Can I still be admitted?

Our Master program is a consecutive program, that builds on the knowledge acquired in a Bachelors degree in Economics. Therefore we can only admit students from other fields if they provide a sound background in Economics and quantitative methods. If you are unsure whether your degree covered enough classes in said fields, you can compare the content of your degree to our Bachelors degree on the Bachelors program website. You should have taken at least two classes in Mathematics and preferably two courses in Statistics and one in Econometrics, as well as eight to ten classes in Micro- and Macroeconomics.

So far, we have been able to reserve rooms for incoming Master students through the Studentenwerk Bonn- an institution providing social, financial and other support services for students in Germany.

We will inform you about the details and deadlines of reserving a room once you have been admitted. Please note that all reservations are binding.

If you want to have a look you can visit the website of the Studentenwerk. Unfortunately the website is in German only. You will find the available dormitories on the left, under the heading "Wohnanlagen".

You can also find more information on short-term accommodation, shared housing and dorm run by other institution on the pages of the International Office.

As most German universities, Bonn does not charge a tuition fee and the costs of the university education are picked up by the German state - thus in a way all students receive a scholarship. Apart from that, German universities offer very few scholarships and those that are available are in general only for excellent students.

However, there are some organizations and institutions offering scholarships. You can find a list of them here.

The Studentenwerk Bonn offers a platform with job-offers . Most of them necessitate German language skills, but if you get lucky you might find an offer where it is not required. In order to use the platform you will need to register online ("Registrierung").

The University of Bonn also provides a website with current vacancies in and around the University . Unfortunately there are not too many which do not require German skills. In general, whenever the Job description is in English, German skills are not of essence.

You might also want to have a look at the following links, yet again, most of the offers require German.
